>ffs, they're OAuth providers.

I don't have a Google, Microsoft/Github and Facebook account. Do you know what they require to register one in terms of privacy? Their terms are horrendous. Jit.si must not care about privacy or they'd have other OAuth options from the start.

>Meanwhile, the vast majority of users around here will have a GitHub or Google account, and probably Facebook as well. This is hardly much of an inconvenience.

I don't think you know the typical user profile of Jit.si. If people are happy with Google, Microsoft and Facebook, then why use Jit.si instead of their own video call offering?

Such as? What provider would you be comfortable with?

Did you read the grandfather comment, the one that explained exactly why this would be useless?

This hits the nail on the head. It’s not just about having an account with those platforms or being unhappy with their video call services. It’s more about which platforms one chooses and for what reasons. Those who choose jit.si would be the ones who want to avoid these tracking and profiling platforms and/or are completely against those platforms.
